Sinanglao (Sinanglaw) in Vigan

Ping/Louee back from their errand, distributed the bagnet/langonisa shares to the delight of the Baguio-ites' oohs and ahhs.. (sarap!!).  This awakened our stomachs' growl for lunch. Sinanglao came to mind as Ping jokingly looked for sinanglao amongst the entrees @ The Baguio Country Club during the class62 dinner.  Louee suggested a place by McDonalds, just to be safe.  She asked us to check it out before we sat down at the most coveted place for lunch (a roadside eatery LOL).


Sinanglao means steamed in the local dialect.  Sinanglao is usually served at streetside eateries in Vigan  in the mornings for breakfast.  This place serves it non stop till closing in the afternoon.  We checked it out, it looks familiar.  It looks like pina-paitan, only less of the yellow greenish thing and smells like sinigang (sour smelling with kamias).
Nagbayag met ten tay Sinanglao. Parparte-en dan sapay diay baka

Mabisin kamin ngem kino-dak ko pay diay Sinanglao
Louee also scours the nearby eateries for something unique and slips in fried Ukoy (shrimps in batter with achuete). Hmmm hmmm pinoysarap!

    You are giving us a virtual tour through interesting photo-essays of the adventures of the six Ilocos trekkers (your version of our Palawan Magnificent Six), and lots of thanks for that! Regarding the sinanglao and the other delicious meals you've been enjoying thereabouts, I'm reminded very pleasantly of our Country Club dinner on May 6. What a sumptuous spread that was, with the best sashimi I've ever had! Thanks, Ping, for making the venue available....it does pay to have connections, because otherwise no dice.

    Another very pleasant surprise was when I received in the mail several days ago the Class 62 photo album -- with me on the cover! A million thanks to Vicky Villarde Estepa and all those who made this possible. Of course, I'm on the cover of only my copy of the photo album, but at least I'm on the cover of something -- a first-in-my-lifetime circumstance, and most likely the last time I'll be on the cover of anything! So all the more reason to feel jubilant and really special!

    Fly high, Citi Hi! Soaring through, Class 62!
